Electronic Warfare (EW) Training

An intensive classroom training environment that utilizes a unique software system to provide education and training on the radio frequency (RF) spectrum and electronic warfare (EW) via a realistic representation of today’s RF threats and through a wide variety of instructor generated scenarios.

Leonardo DRS’ EW Trainer System is a cost effective, laboratory-based platform that facilitates the training of military, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) personnel in Communications Intelligence (COMINT) related disciplines. DRS also offers an optional Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) simulation as an add-on training feature.

The EW Trainer is typically deployed with two instructor positions: one position for scenario generation, and the other for scenario execution. It also includes up to 20 student workstations. Instructor and student positions are each equipped with a dedicated general purpose 1.5 MHz to 3 GHz receiver and a companion data demodulator for the reception and processing of live off-the-air or laboratory generated voice and data training signals through the use of DRS’ proprietary COMINT simulation program. 

Given the breadth and sophistication of the training materials, the EW Trainer System is delivered with a comprehensive onsite “Train the Trainer” program presented by Leonardo DRS personnel.
